The battle over control of Vancouver community centres is the topic of what is being billed as an “emergency meeting” going on right now.
The new framework approved by commissioners last week, despite massive opposition, will see a pooling of revenue to allow more equal services to be delivered to centers across the city.
Ainsley Kwan is president of the Killarney community center association.
She wants to keep pushing the park board to negotiate fair terms before the new model is implemented, namely the term “revenue pooling”.
“Raise the money that we…the revenues stay in our community, that we know best what programming our community needs and we work really hard to offset some of those costs with the revenue that we generate”
She says the centers will keep holding meetings to tell the public the plan is not yet set in stone.
No one was Vision Vancouver is in attendance.
